VOTE NO! CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION WWW.UFANYC.ORG
VOL. LIII NO. 1, OCTOBER 2017
on November 7, 2017
President’s Message by Gerard Fitzgerald
Don’t be conned! On November 7th citizens of New York will be asked to vote on ballot measure Proposal 1 that is calling for a Constitutional Convention. We are encouraging everyone to vote NO! If this proposal passes it could be disastrous for your pension!. The right for labor to organize, retirement security, and the prevailing wage could be taken out of the NY Constitution. A Constitutional Convention would be controlled by special interests who not only would waste your tax dollars but would rewrite the N Y Constitution and that would be bad for everyone! This issue of Fire Lines includes detailed information outlining why a constitutional convention would be wrong for hardworking New Yorkers and why you should vote against this measure. It’s urgent that you get the message to your family, neighbors, and friends to turn out and vote NO on November 7th. www.ufanyc.org
